Manage episode 305335953 series 2975530
Since Mike was released he has become an award winning author and he campaigns for the wrongly convicted people he left behind. In this episode we talk about the work he has done including; helping people in police interviews as an appropriate adult and helping people in the family court as a Mackenzie friend.
We also talk about the death penalty because if the death penalty had still been in place Mike and others including his co-accused, the Guildford Four, Birmingham Six, Barry George and many, many others would have been hanged. Like the last man to executed in Cardiff, Mahmood Mattan who was later proved to be innocent. His gravestone reads; 'killed by injustice.'
In this episode, Mike and I have an open and frank discussion about some difficult issues regarding our criminal justice system.
